Air bag inflation conditions
Front air bags
Front air bags and the driver’s knee air
bag are designed to inflate in a frontal
collision depending on the the severity of
impact of the front collision.
Side and curtain air bags
Side and curtain air bags are designed to
inflate when an impact is detected by
side collision sensors depending on the
severity of impact resulting from a side
impact collision.
Although the driver’s and front passen-
ger’s air bags are designed to inflate only
in frontal collisions, they also may inflate
in other types of collisions if the front
impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact. Side and curtain air bags are
designed to inflate only in side impact
collisions or rollover situations, but they
may inflate in other collisions if the side
impact sensors detect a sufficient
impact.
If the vehicle chassis is impacted by
bumps or objects on unimproved roads,
the air bags may deploy. Drive carefully
on unimproved roads or on surfaces not
designed for vehicle traffic to prevent
unintended air bag deployment.
